Seven-night portrait photography skills

Night portrait photography skills are as follows:

1. Use billboards and shop windows to shoot soft-skinned portraits with transparent skin.

Billboards and shopping mall windows everywhere on the roadside have a large area of soft light. At the same time, the brightness of the light source is strong enough and the color temperature is stable. For us, it is an oversized soft box. In the shooting of night portraits, we must grasp the degree of soft light in a large area. In this large area of soft light environment, you will find it as easy as eating edamame at night. ?

Because the light source area is large enough, the light is very uniform on the characters, and it will not be stiff whether shooting close or middle, so I don't want to say more. Let's put some samples here to feel it.

2. Silhouette is almost the main form that night portraits must take.

Silhouette shooting is relatively simple. Selecting the highlighted area of the background can clearly outline the outline of people. The focus of silhouette is mainly on the choice of background, so you can pay more attention to the background when shooting.

3. Look for light sources with special shapes to enrich the shooting forms of night scenes.

The picture below shows an annular Led light that I happened to find on the stairs when I was in the mall. The texture of the light is very soft, which is suitable for taking close-ups of busts. When the model sits in the eyes there, it naturally forms the effect of shooting with a circular flash. Soft light tends to protrude from the skin. Don't miss this special shape of light when shooting at night, make good use of it.
